Children with total or par- tial hearing loss were un- able to obtain the spe- cialized instruction in Judaism given to those who could hear. A solution to this problem came in 1966 with the open- ing of the Hebrew Institute for Deaf and Exceptional Children (HID).

Ribicoff Backs Easier U.S. Peace Loan Term for Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) — Sen. Abraham Ribicoff (D - Conn.), told newsmen here April 20, that he would support Israel's request for easier repayment terms on the aid it will receive from the U.S. to help cover the costs of the Sinai pullback. Visiting Jerusalem as a member of a special U.S. economic delegation headed by Robert Strauss, Ribicoff said he recognized that the terms as they presently stood would impose a very heavy burden on Israel's economy. He reportedly Iranian Jews in California Aided by AJC SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) — Iranian Jews visiting and studying in the San Fran- cisco Bay area, who are suf- fering from the cutoff of all funds from Iran to the United States, are getting help from the northern California, division of the American Jewish Congress. There are estimated to be more than 200 Iranian Jewish students and vis- itors in the Bay area. The division has ar- ranged meetings with Iranian-Jews in the Bay area and also has sought to acquaint them with com- munity facilities, including the Jewish Family Service, Jewish Vocational Service and Mount Zion Hospital. said he would favor the pro- posal that half the aid be made over as a grant and the other half as a loan, at nine percent interest over 30 years. Under the present terms, only $800 million of the $3 billion aid package would be in the form of a grant. Strauss and Israeli Com- merce Minister Gideon Patt, meanwhile, signed a trade agreement providing for reduction of tariffs and encouragement of trade through other means. Aliya, Drop Outs Increasing - JERUSALEM (JTA) — Aliya figures for March showed a continued upsw- ing in relation to last year. The total was 2,992 com- pared to 1,988 in March 1978, an increase of about 55 percent. Most of the rise is attributable to the in- creased numbers of Jews leaving the Soviet Union, and some 400 Iranian Jews visiting Israel who decided in March to change their status to immigrant or tem- porary4resident. But "neshira" (drop-out) figures are rising, too. The rate in March was nearly 70 percent. Of the 3,137 Jews who left the Soviet Union last month, only 1,283 went to Israel. Leading U.S. Jewish sources told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that there would be renewed in- tensive discussions within the American Jewish com- munity leadership on the whole issue of neshira. The Jewish leaders have undertaken to seek a consensus among their Bible Replica Due COPENHAGEN (JTA) — A special edition of the 1,000-year-old "Damascus" ' Bible has been printed by the Danish publishers Rosenkilde and Bagger, The new edition is a replica of the historic Bible.

The emissaries had undergone intensive training, includ- ing courses with a psychol- ogist who specializes in communication with im- migrants. INSTANT PASSPORT 4 I.D.
